Neftekhimik defenseman Artyom Serikov speaks with the media after a following 7–5 win over Shanghai Dragons.

– The game was not great, but we were lucky to win. There were a lot of mistakes on both sides. Basically, we scored more than three and won, that is good.

What emotions did you feel after the second goal that we conceded? After all, the puck went into the net after it hit you...
Of course, I was upset. But at halftime, thanks to my teammates, they supported me and encouraged me. I came on in the second period and immediately made an assist on my first shift, then I managed to score a goal, so I think I redeemed myself.

– Later, you scored a good goal...
Thanks to my teammates for encouraging me to shoot.

Why did the team took unnecessary penalties?
When passions are running high, when emotions are running high, when no one wants to lose, these things happen.

Did you hear the fans' support?
Yes, they were really supportive today. Especially when the goals started coming in, when we started scoring. We will try to keep making them happy. And a big thank you to them for their support today!
